coming up with a profitable shirt idea can be difficult there are so many different types of
shirt ideas that can sell well but it's hard to know which one will work best for your business
so in this video i'm going to walk you through the five steps needed to come with a profitable shirt
idea or design you'll learn how to brainstorm ideas find manufacturers research what makes these
ideas unique and profitable set up an online shop and how to market your shirts by following these
steps you'll have a perfect shirt in no time and this is really awesome for someone that wants to
start their own clothing line okay build their own brand um there's a few different ways that you're
going to be able to do this i'm going to explain everything for you to help you as best as possible
all right first thing is start to brainstorm popular niches that you think will do well
what i always recommend okay when it comes to any of this is do something that you know okay
most of the time you know it's these little sub niches that do really well for us okay and then
if you know about these sub niches so for example like a niche like baseball football basketball
hockey whatever it is cooking okay there's different types of cooking okay those are all
different types of niches now if you know those niches you know the audience okay you know what
they like so it makes it so much easier for you to target that audience because you know what
they like okay now if you enjoy something and then you can make money from it too at the same time
that is very very powerful it's amazing and then you're enjoying it and you're having
fun and then you're making money what else can you like like what else can you want from that
which brings me to the next thing is learning your target audience and giving them what they want
okay you doing this if you know your target audience already it should be easy for you
to give them what they want now if you don't know your target audience you need to start doing some
research okay where is your target audience hanging out are they hanging out on facebook
okay are they hanging out on pinterest which we'll get more into this later on in this video so stay
following along with me all right researching your competition is going to be next so you know your
competition you kind of have an idea by doing a few searches like on google or or you you kind of
got inspired by somebody and you're like hey i can do that right okay so researching your competition
and seeing what they're doing and taking notes and seeing okay what is why are they so successful why
are they doing what they're doing and what what's what's going on what are they doing differently
or what you what can you do differently that they're not doing and you know that you can bring
to the market next is going to be find a manufacturer that can print your shorts for you
okay this right here is very powerful because it's gonna save you a lot of time in your business okay
you can print your own shirts if you want okay print your own products if you want whatever it is
that you're selling okay it doesn't matter you can do that if you really enjoy doing that you can do
it because you have more control of your business right there's a lot of people that do this
now what i would recommend if we're going through this whole video going through the whole process
is you know finding a third party print provider or you can even find like a local print provider
that can help you print your shirts and get them to your customers okay one of the print providers
i'm going to recommend is printful okay the next print provider i'm going to recommend is printify
and then also you can actually upload designs to merch by amazon which is a third priority you know
that's like the same exact thing you're taking advantage of the amazon customer you can also
get sales that way too as well and then you can just you know drop a link to let's say
like your merch by amazon store and a customer can make it make a purchase and then it'll can
ship to them now it's going to be lower loyal lower royalties compared to like
print for printify right you get a little bit more of a royalty over there i'm not sure how you want
to approach this it's all up to you on how you want to do this because there's no right way here
um but you want to make sure that you have a really awesome product i go over printful
and do a t-shirt review check out that video right here okay i go more into detail i order
a sample product for them and you can see how the shirt comes out how the print comes out
i always recommend that you order a sample product from whatever print provider that you go with
okay it doesn't matter you want to see how the print quality is and how the delivery times are
okay when you get your product okay because you got to keep in mind that your customer's going
to be getting the same exact product and you want to make sure it's to your standard that
is very important research what makes those shirts unique and profitable why does your
customer want this product right now is there a current event happening right now or a holiday
and the reason why you're asking yourself this because once you figure this out like making sales
is going to be so much easier why are they purchasing it you want to understand this
because this can help you grow your business to that next level that you want it to be at
i'm going to show you some examples we're going to the computer i'm going to show you some
examples like you can see why certain shirts are selling right now why is there a certain holiday
that's trending right now that people are buying in this niche okay and it's giving
you an insight because once you learn that it's just like a rinse and repeat process and
you go from five sales a day to 10 sales a day to 10 sales a day to 20 sales a day just by repeating
this okay or even just just understanding it as a whole can make all the difference in your business
all right so i came over here to merchresearch.com all right i left everything blank as you can see

shirt and then you send it to them okay you can use shopify you can use wix you can even upload
to like merch by amazon just to get started and test okay is it possible that i can sell this
shirt and send it to my customer right and then you can even put it on redbubble or you can even
start an etsy shop okay there's so many different ways that you can do this there's not just one way
but these are the examples that i'm using in this video okay when you set up a shopify store the
branding is so important and when you set up a wix store the branding is so important okay when
it comes to any other stuff what's gonna make your customer feel comfortable when they pull out their
credit card are they comfortable on your website little things like that you have to think about
if you want to start growing an audience building a brand and making money online now with when
you upload to like merch amazon you know amazon has that customer already they don't share that
information with you so they're kind of a little bit stingy when it comes to sharing information
which kind of sucks that's why people go off of amazon and build the brand because they feel like
having a customer and just growing a business to the level that they wanted to having that
information and having that one-on-one with the customer is so important right when growing a
brand um but it's not saying that you cannot make money with merch by amazon something that you want
to look into uh which is really cool because you get to leverage the amazon customer and all
the traffic that they have on amazon.com next is going to be marketing shirts to potential buyers
okay now when it comes to this it's you have to figure out how you're gonna drive traffic
to your products okay now it's crazy that we have social media okay at our fingertips and we can do
so much with it okay and one of them is marketing our products to our customers okay i'm kind of
doing that with right here with this video but obviously i'm providing the value okay giving you
so much good information okay and then you know obviously if i can show you how to make money
then maybe you'll buy my product right it's kind of like that i'm just being honest with you what
i recommend when it comes to any of this you want to figure out where they're hanging out first and
foremost okay but examples facebook groups okay if you create a really awesome engaging facebook
group that people are interacting with okay it's that can be very very powerful you provide the
value in there okay value value value and then drop a product in there okay post something
valuable post something valuable a few days later on drop a product you don't have to you can do
you drop a product just once a month okay it all depends on you personally how you want to do it
but do not be afraid to ask them if you're providing value okay the goal is to help them
okay give them give them what they want as far as the value and the content and then you know
a month later two months later drop a product something else i recommend is just ranking blogs
on your website your personal website so you have a shopify learn how to write blogs on the front
page that drive traffic to your website okay and one of the most popular social media platforms
right now is tick tock very very powerful if you want to get your product in front of somebody okay
i recommend you you know start creating content on tick tock you can grow a following on there fast
crazy the reach is amazing okay tiktok is a the number one social media platform right now and all
the eyeballs are on that platform okay figure out how you want to create content on there and just
get to work get going create awesome content and people will buy on there and you'll get eyeballs
